Anytown

Over dale and over hills
Ill take you through the cotton mills
To the ginnels where we played
And where are friendships all were made
Still they came and tore them down
And now we live in
Anytown They came and tore it down
And now this place could be
Anytown Cant forget and wont forgive
The places weve been forced to live
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But rather that than live alone
For they came and tore it down
And now we live in
Anytown They came and tore it down
And now this place could be
Anytown Rags to riches, thats a lie
For some things money just cant buy
Thicker than water blood may be
And comfort still brings misery
For they came and tore it down
And now we live in
Anytown They came and tore it down
And now this place could be
Anytown They took the heart when they ripped it down
And in its place sent
Anytown Summer in the driving rain
I can hear the
Oldham train.
